As I walked into calculus class everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to me abruptly. Wow, thanks for the warm welcome.

" Miss Evans you are late " Mr Hayward said turning from the board to face me. What do I say? What do I say?.

" Miss Evans" he called again. Oh I hate my life.

" I had problems with my tampon " I said.

Oh my God kill me on the spot. Did I just say tampons?.. Ahh God.

" That's a very personal word " he said and I could hear a few of the guys saying gross while the girls smiles at my embarrassment.

" But you asked what I was doing " I said frowning.

" Just take your seat Scarlett " he said before turning back to the board.

" Yes thank you " I said politely before staring at the class, looking for an empty seat..

One that I could disappear into like one that leads to mars or Venus. Anywhere but earth.

" Scarlett. Have your seat " Mr Hayward said again and I sighed.

The only seats empty were three. One beside Maxwell where we usually sat and two by the back
